Two Killed During Torrential Downpour In Spain
Two siblings died on Thursday when floodwaters caused by torrential rain dragged their car and flipped it over in eastern Spain. Authorities then warned residents to prepare for further storms across the country. The victims, aged 51 and 61, died in the region of Castilla La Mancha. Nearby in the Valencia region, at least two rivers burst their banks. This forced the evacuation of dozens of people.
“We had 300 millimeters of rain. We haven’t seen that for a century,” Jorge Rodríguez, the mayor of Ontinyent, said. In addition, schools suspended classes for the foreseeable future. Spain authorities also recommended people stay in their homes in the affected areas.
Trump Willing To Meet With Kim Jong Un Again
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would be willing to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again. He wants to resume denuclearization talks at some point later this year. Trump’s comments followed North Korea’s similar wishes they announced earlier on Monday.
Trump’s removal of John Bolton, his national security adviser, earlier this week may help U.S. efforts to revive the talks. However, it will not make Washington’s aim of persuading Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons any easier. Trump and Kim have met three times since June 2018 to discuss this issue.
